I honestly decided to go through rush with no expectations at all...sincerely intended to go through and meet some people because I went to a very small school in Texas, and basically, I was bored. I was planning on transferring my sophomore year, and since none of the sororities on my campus had a chapter at the other school I wasn't going to actually pledge.
Anyway, I had alot of fun that week, and can honestly say that I joined because I clicked with the women who rushed me. I felt like I belonged, and wanted to be a part of something that no one else in my family had ever been a part of. I was a shy person, so the idea of mixers/socials was not a big draw for me, but I had always had a large circle of friends and was lonely--DZ filled that hole from the very beginning...ended up never transferring! Being in a sorority helped me to build confidence, self-esteem, and made me more organized, and my closest friends today are my sorority sisters. So, even though that's not why I joined, that's why it ended up meaning so much to me.
